Bettles Vacation Packages

Owner-mgr found a good suite. Some confusion in correspondence which was Expedia’s fault, according to the owner. Old place, needs work in bath especially. Rather expensive for the condition. But, it worked well for us.

Hotel itself was ok. The staff was excellent. The transportation at the hotel was not up to par. The roadway was hazardous and steps need attention. It would have been nice to have paved access from the highway to the hotel and rooms:: very dangerous for people with limited mobility

Good WiFi

Very good room big and clean

Overall was good. Really was not in room except to sleep. Convenient location, right on Chena river. Window AC worked but had to have curtain open so it is hard to sleep with it being light out. Definitely needed the AC for our stay.

front desk is in a fight mood. Facial expressions (3 of the people I met) are aggressive

Stay: Late-May, 2026 This place was fantastic! Perfect for what we were doing--a quick one-night stay in Talkeetna, and then on to Denali NP. This little cottage is every bit as quaint and charming as shown in the Expedia listing. The place is about 2.5 hours to Denali, so it's a great mid-stopping place to take in a great area. It's clean, well-appointed, aesthetically pleasing, and yet very utilitarian. If you're a couple just looking to "chill" for two or three days before you hit Denali NP hard--do it here. You won't be sorry. Take a nap, do some reading, binge a favorite show, take an incredibly beautiful hike, walk or stroll, rent a bike, work on your photography skills, whatever. Then head into town for breakfast, lunch or dinner and take in some great Alaskan culture. I'd do this place again without hesitation.

The views from this property are AMAZING! You definitely need a 4 wheel drive vehicle to get to it! We enjoyed the provided breakfast. Never saw any staff but didn't really need them for anything.
